Inflamm Bowel Dis

Effectiveness of Vitamin D Supplementation on Disease Course in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients: Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis.

This meta-analysis shows that vitamin D supplementation can reduce the risk of clinical relapse in IBD patients, especially in CD patients in clinical remission. In a subgroup analysis, it was not significant (due to small number of studies and low number of patients), and well-powered studies are needed, in particular for ulcerative colitis patients.

Inflamm Bowel Dis

Higher Prevalence of Monogenic Cause Among Very Early Onset Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Children: Experience From a Tertiary Care Center From Northern India.

One-third of participants were monogenic among Indian children with VEO-IBD, the highest proportion reported to date in the world. Next-generation (either exome or whole genome) sequencing should be recommended in a subset of VEO-IBD with neonatal onset, perianal disease, history of consanguinity and siblings' death, wasting, stunting, and IBD unclassified phenotype for an early diagnosis and referral to an appropriate center for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for a better outcome.

Plasma soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (P-suPAR) in the diagnostics between malignant and non-malignant pancreatic lesions.

Preoperative P-suPAR is elevated in patients with PC compared to patients with a non-malignant pancreatic lesion. Combining P-suPAR with P-CA19-9 may improve diagnostic accuracy.
